Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of shredded napa cabbage, 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken, 1 cup of shredded carrots, and ½ cup of thinly sliced red onion. Add ½ cup of fresh mint, ¼ cup of fresh cilantro, and ½ cup of chopped roasted peanuts for that delightful crunch. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed for the perfect balance of flavors in your Vietnamese Chicken Salad.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of honey, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of chili garlic sauce until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The dressing should have a harmonious blend of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors that elevate your salad's taste.
- Just before serving, pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the large bowl. Toss everything together gently but thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
- For the best taste and texture, serve the salad immediately. However, if you're meal prepping, you can store the salad mix in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days in the fridge, keeping the dressing separate until you're ready to dig in.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor; wilted veggies will dull the crispness of your Vietnamese Chicken Salad.
